What cause players to quit Final Fantasy XIV A Realm Reborn

SE, everyone at some point wants to do End-Game, but you are forcing people who want to play together to compromise and find groups of strangers instead just because you have to do the content with one group per week and don't give us the chance to try again. If you want to lock people out, then make it weekly loot-limits like in ST. I don't want to be forced waiting half a year until i can do Final Coil with friends, while i want to share the experience with friends in the first place. It's like having a friend watch a movie and watch it together with him afterwards....the friend won't be surprised about scenes anymore and it feels like a lesser experience for the one who hasn't watched it yet.

This is a multiplayer game, not a single-player game with forced online-group-ups.
If I have to to choose between doing content alone with strangers instead of the people i wanted to do it with in the first place, or doing content i finished hundreds of times already while standing around the FC housing and just chatting, I'd rather quit the game. It's an expensive chat if you won't let me have fun with friends.
Don't you see that you are dividing people with such a system?

No one is forcing you to group with strangers. You can play with your friends if you want. You only join with strangers if you want to win. After you've seen the movie once, it's not so great the second time..or the 15th time.

What if those friends joined a static without you?

Then you join with the other friends..? I think this is the only game that allows you to run content more than once in a short amount of time with different people (CT/ST/all dungeons except Coil).

Aion certainly didn't have this. 3 day lockout here, 7 day there, 12 hour there. It was lockouts all over. As far as I know WoW is the same except with longer ones.

Maybe not dying as in ending it's dying for a lot of players as I have already explained there are lots of posts here with many different reasons. It's the reason why your one dimensional view of dying is not taken seriously. As per your own words many people's views and opinions don't fit your own criteria, wise advice use it.

If it is dying put up some numbers or admit it is an anecdotal opinion

@Exstal
Personally, I don't enjoy Syrcus Tower due to how easy it is, especially when compared to Labyrinth of the Ancients (I hate that the trash mobs in ST are treated the same way as dungeon mobs. Gather them together and then AoE them to death. No nifty mechanics). If you've read my posts regarding dungeons, you'd also see I'm not impressed with those either (though I am hoping the 2.4 dungeons will have relevance outside of just being a tome market dropping outdated and recycled i90 gear. i105 drops would be very nice. i113, while nice, would be pushing it).

The whole Coil thing made me cancel my subscription (and choose to pretend Coil doesn't exist until the lockout is removed. It made me a massive jerk towards my friends since they were making progress in an organised static), as well as just being burnt out by having nothing worthwhile to do in the game.

Dying for some people yes mentioned numerous times this is a personal opinion and experience, I've lost count.

This is the problem for me aswell, pretty much done all battle related content so frontline is only one left for me atm. Also i had to start slacking with relic so i have atleast something to do besides FL, when that gold saucer thingy comes i hope it has battle arena or something similiar on top of card game/other minigames to keep me busy for a while.
